Enchantment of the Seas

12 Night Southern Caribbean (Baltimore Roundtrip)

Review summary

If you want a relaxing vacation, take one of the smaller ships—the enchantment is our favorites. It is old and worn ( but at 73 so am I 😂) Easy to get around and smaller venues. If you want water slides, and shopping malls, go on the larger ships—the big ships are great for family’s and kids.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
MDR has issues, lack of staff really slowed things up. New menus has some different options for the adventurous, but lack of favorites for those with picky tastes.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Finally moved all trivia to the much larger spotlight lounge—much more enjoyable Music options very enjoyable as were most of the shows

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The onboard resident entertainers are fantastic, most of the guest entertainers were Vegas quality and very entertaining

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
An old ship ( still my favorite ). This ship as what is called a centrum ( main lobby ) which is great for entertainment

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Caution—if you room is an adjoining cabin (ocean view), you will only have 1 chair. Non adjoining rooms have a small couch Size is fine since you basically are only changing or sleeping there

Ship tip

The older and smaller ships of this class tend to be populated by seniors ( that’s why we enjoy )

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland
